Moisturizer: While the best option is to avoid tanning beds and excess sun exposure, if you choice to tan your chest, it is important to use proper skin care. This includes a good moisturizer and perhaps chilled aloe vera. The safest option to improve the color of your skin would be to use a bronzer or spray tan. I have done laser resurfacing on a number of female patients who developed sun damage from tanning.
